Kaizen Planning, Implementing and Controlling

By: Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz,Midiala Oropesa-Vento,Aidé Aracely Maldonado-Macías

This book reports a literature review on kaizen, its industrial applications, critical success factors, benefits gained, journals that publish about it, main authors (research groups) and universities. Kaizen is treated in this book in three stages: planning, implementation and control. The authors provide a questionnaire designed with activities in every stage, highlighting the benefits gained in each stage. The study has been applied to more than 400 managers and leaders in continuous improvement in Mexican maquiladoras. A univariate analysis is provided to the activities in every stage. Moreover, structural equation models associating those activities with the benefits gained are presented for a statistical validation. Such a relationship between activities and benefits helps managers to identify the most important factor affecting their benefits and financial income.

DMAIC

Concepts, Tools, and Industrial Applications

By: Arturo Realyvásquez Vargas,Jorge Garcia Alcaraz,Suchismita Satapathy,José Roberto Díaz-Reza,Bogart Yail Marquez Lobato

The industry is currently facing a multitude of challenges on production lines that must be systematically addressed in order to improve quality and productivity. One commonly utilized methodology by companies is DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control), which has been proven effective through various case studies and is now considered a standard problem-solving approach. However, existing books on DMAIC often focus solely on defining concepts and tools, as well as showcasing case studies separately. This book consolidates all of these aspects into a single, user-friendly resource. DMAIC: Concepts, Tools, and Industrial Applications offers both theoretical and practical insights into the DMAIC methodology. It sequentially presents all stages of DMAIC, outlining activities, data collection, and analysis processes. By integrating DMAIC concepts, tools, and case studies, this book provides industry professionals with a comprehensive resource. Real-world case studies from companies that have successfully implemented DMAIC to enhance production processes are showcased, offering valuable insights and practical examples. This book serves as a valuable resource for professionals, students, and individuals responsible for improving industrial production systems. By consolidating theory, tools, and case studies into a single book, readers can gain a comprehensive understanding of DMAIC and its application in industry.

Evaluation of Supply Chain Performance

A Manufacturing Industry Approach

By: Liliana Avelar-Sosa,Jorge Luis García-Alcaraz,Aidé Aracely Maldonado-Macías

This book provides some regional aspects considered by manufacturing firms in their decisions to gain competitiveness and have effects on the performance of their supply chains (SC). Some of the main aspects considered are: government's policies, fixed costs, the availability and quality of infrastructure services. This book also discusses the risks for the SC; based on a perception approach, some aspects studied are: demand, suppliers and production processes and how these are related to other elements of the SC. The authors use structural modeling to analyze the evaluation of some manufacturing practices and their impact on customer service satisfaction, agility and flexibility of the SC. The context of this study is immersed in the Mexican manufacturing industry of exportation, also known as maquiladora industry of Ciudad Juarez, México. This borderland is among the top 10 manufacturing Mexican cities. World class industries are located in this region and have been recognized around the world for their competitiveness and high performance. Therefore, the methods and results exposed in this book may be valuable and useful for readers and researchers of the SC worldwide.

Leadership and Operational Indexes for Supply Chain Resilience

By: Maribel Mendoza Solis,Jorge Luis García Alcaraz,Juan Manuel Madrid Solórzano,Emilio Jiménez Macías

This book presents a novel approach for studying the impact of leadership styles on supply chain resilience using a combination of transactional and transformational leadership. The book consists of two main sections: The first introduces key concepts and provides a framework for understanding the research problem and methodology. The second section presents five structural equation models developed and validated using data collected from a survey of managers and engineers in the Mexican Maquiladora Industry. These models explore the relationships between key variables, such as agility, flexibility, alertness, and efficiency, and how they are affected by different leadership styles. The findings of this study suggest that a combination of transactional and transformational leadership is highly effective in enhancing resilience and achieving better results during disruptive events. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book is an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in supply chain management, leadership, and resilience. It contributes to the existing literature on these topics and provides practical insights for improving supply chain performance in today's complex and dynamic business environments.

Best Practices in Lean Manufacturing

A Relational Analysis

By: José Roberto Díaz-Reza,Jorge Luis García Alcaraz,Adrián Salvador Morales García

This book reports four structural equation models (SEM) for quantifying the relationship between the most important lean manufacturing (LM) practices applied to the manufacturing industry. The SEMs are evaluated using 220 responses to a survey applied to manufacturing companies applying LM principles in the production system and are related to: distribution and maintenance, production process and quality system, supply chain and quality, and an integrator model. The findings identify the most important activities for every LM practices and how they are related. These relationship’ values will help administrators, managers, engineers to focus their efforts on these most important activities, facilitating the decision-making process.
